Association of gestational cardiovascular health with infant neurodevelopment: A prospective study in Hefei of Anhui, China.

We investigate the prospective the association of gestational cardiovascular health (CVH) with infant neurodevelopment, and whether such relation was mediated by cord blood metabolites. The data come from the prospective birth cohort study in Hefei of Anhui, China. A total of 1714 mother-infant pairs are included from March 2018 and June 2021.

Mediterranean diet during pregnancy and infant neurodevelopment: A prospective birth cohort study.

Background: Embryonic neural development is associated with intrauterine nutritional status. However, few cohort studies estimated the relationship between maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy and offspring's early neurodevelopment.

Objective: To examine the impact of the Mediterranean diet (MD) during pregnancy on infant neurodevelopment, including the potential mediating role of cord blood metabolites.

[Relationship between sleep of late trimester pregnant women and 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in Hefei City].

Objective: To explore the relationship between maternal sleep in the third trimester and 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD).

Methods: From March 2015 to July 2020, a total of 3034 pregnant women aged 18 to 45 years old with single pregnancy at the gestational age of 28 to 40 weeks in 3 hospitals in Hefei were enrolled in the study.

Adequate 25(OH)D moderates the relationship between dietary inflammatory potential and cardiovascular health risk during the second trimester of pregnancy.

Background: Pro-inflammatory diets play an important role in developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Vitamin D has been demonstrated to have an anti-inflammatory effect and promote cardiovascular health (CVH). However, it is unclear whether adequate vitamin D during pregnancy protects against poor CVH caused by pro-inflammatory diets.
